Amazing performance. You definitely have a talent for this, and the 42 brings it out. I was wondering if one could transpose the whole dronebed to a different key with the six keyboard buttons on the right. I was kind of waiting for that big shift :).
Thanks for the kind words! It's been really fun exploring this instrument and sharing. Love the idea for a key change. Those keys only activate each drone voice, but you can definitely tune the voices to different chords and keys and achieve that effect, then it's only a couple of button presses to return the keybed. Will have to experiment with that!
Loved this. I could not help but think..... how cool would it be if it had a global tune so that the drones that are there droning the same for the whole 10 minutes... could be dropped a fifth... then up a step... then back to the original as an example.
Great jams, enjoying watching how you’re using the 42. As a Lyra-8 user (and potential Solar 42 buyer), I’m curious to hear your observations on how the two compare (and differ) in terms of their effectiveness as a live performance tool. It seems like it would open up a lot of options performing live, curious about any observations or potential drawbacks you perceive.
Yup! No MIDI but the key bed has a digital brain with some smart options for the key center, scales and tuning and much more. It's so handy and makes things much more musical.
@@uncletonysfunhouse Very nice!! The depth of the solar 42 is incredible. Was thinking of another keyboard synth, but this thing is much more nuanced in a desirable way. Just pre ordered one:)
Hello again 👋 I’ve returned to this solar 42 playlist to have a 2nd or 3rd listen… I’m seriously considering saving for one of these machines… please can I ask you, if you didn’t have the solar or the Lyra-8 which would you go for (if the price difference wasn’t a concern), and what would you say are some pros of the solar vs the Lyra? Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻
If I really had to choose I'd go for the Solar 42. It's such a special instrument. So many tonal options and so inspiring. It's very musical. In some ways it's more straightforward in the Lyra, despite the many tonal options available.
Hello again 👋😃🙏🏻 ok thank you very much for the reply and info I appreciate it… I’m going to save for a black one also… and later down the line will add some modules to it to expand its functionality… can’t wait… 😂 it’s probably going to be a while to save up. I do like the style that you perform on it and I hope you make more with it 🙏🏻
i recently ordered one and now waiting for it to arrive, i got a question to you tho... does it come waterproof? cuz i might be crying all over it beautiful perfomance!
Nice vid. Does it play well with the Lyra or for that matter any other instrument? It sounds beautiful on its own, but since I have a Lyra and a couple of "traditional" synths, I'm hesitating...
Thanks! Great question. That's TBD. I'm experimenting with incorporating those two into my music making workflow. My latest vid pairs the Solar with my Korg Prologue, that worked well. I think it's possible for them to work together, but they're both particular and opinionated so probably require some finesse. We'll see.
Absolutely incredible. I’m sitting here on my balcony with a cup of coffee and it just put me in a lovely trance to start the week with. Great work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Listened to this around 5:30PM with a beautiful sunset going on outside.
IT WAS BLISS. Good stuff
Sooo Nice! I found myself in vast Mongolian grassland alone!
That is an incredible instrument. Thanks for sharing!

gorgeous piece, this machine is so tempting.
This video is making me want to get one of these. Better start saving!
Just got one this week and jams are already so much fun - lots to explore! Great video / music! Cheers.
Dope, have fun with it! Would love to hear a jam if you're up to posting one.
The earth tone sweater really adds an element of quiet serenity. Luxurious, yet simple.
Please shut up , synth soy boy power bottom
damn that was nice, real close your eyes stuff..
Thanks for the kind words!

I heard the wind rustling the grasses!

Thank you! There's definitely some overlap between the too, but wow the Solar has a depth to it that I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of.
This machine just begs to be played. How I would love to set it up in my studio! But watching you play it is great as well, so I subscribed.
Thanks so much!
Wow! To the performance and the synth! simply wow 🙂
what a healing performance
let's goooo best instrument ever
I can confirm, this is the stuff.
It’s beautiful; thank you for uploading
My pleasure 😊
quite lovely!
Very nice! Want more like this :)
Amazing sounds g!!!!
Like the sun rising over a field
Ich spüre die Musik an meinem intimsten Ort.....geil
ih
beautiful piece of music
Thank you ❤️
2 great ambient machines side by side here which one do you like More?
Lately I've been preferring the Solar 42 but the Lyra is such an incredible instrument as well.
Good job! I have one of the presales. It's difficult to get everything in tune!
okay I def want one!
1:40 sounds like you and this instrument got in a time machine back to 1977 to play on Steve Miller Band's Jet Airliner intro.
Fab - lovely
I've got one too! (a green Lyra 🤣)
Curious question since there is no midi how is this staying locked to a scale? Because it looks like the keybed is currently locked to a scale?
Yup! No MIDI but the key bed has a digital brain with some smart options for the key center, scales and tuning and much more. It's so handy and makes things much more musical.
Thanks for the response man!! and love the jam! @@uncletonysfunhouse
More musical than what? More musical than a keyboard? Maybe if one has no actual musical skill…
@@uncletonysfunhouse Very nice!! The depth of the solar 42 is incredible. Was thinking of another keyboard synth, but this thing is much more nuanced in a desirable way. Just pre ordered one:)
Almost... lol, just kidding! Great job 🙂

This instrument looks so difficult to use. Absolutely amazing sounds ✌️
Haha, it does look pretty insane right? I felt so overwhelmed when I first unboxed it and hooked it up. Its surprisingly intuitive once you dive in.
Do you release your music? This song is incredible.
Hey Uncle Tony ....have you sussed if there is a way to for the controllers on the effectors to control only one of the dual effects at a time ?
hypnosynth
i recently ordered one and now waiting for it to arrive, i got a question to you tho... does it come waterproof? cuz i might be crying all over it
beautiful perfomance!
I could be wrong……I could be …….right

@@uncletonysfunhouse thanks for the response, I'll keep watching
You can hear the same sounds with Predator 3 !!!!
How’s the build quality
It's incredible. Really solid and premium feeling device.
Cadê a música?
Total 😢 underated Synth ,but out of Budget , use Tape Delay and Volca Drum /Fm 😮 and 🎉 surprise
Such an amateur… professionals don’t use only 3 patch cables
It takes about two minutes for you to reach an acceptable audiolevel, such a pity.
Otherwise: great use of all tonal options!
I found the build up to level "extended fade in" quite nice
